This is also a big game for Western Michigan in the context of the MAC standings. There are three 5-1 teams at the top of the conference, followed by three more 4-2 teams, including the Broncos. With no more divisions, the teams with the two best conference records will get a spot in the MAC Championship, and while Western Michigan would need help after losing two in a row coming into this one, the Broncos aren’t out of the picture yet. A win would also make Western Michigan bowl eligible for the first time since 2021.
Central Michigan comes in looking to beat the Broncos for the first time since 2021. Last year, the Broncos won a 38-28 game in Kalamazoo, following a 12-10 win the last time these teams played in Mount Pleasant.
